Using speech to measure cognitive changes in clinical trials and research studies
A 10-minute phone call measures cognitive impairment automatically and remotely
Remotely or in-clinic
SB-C can be used at the patient’s home or in-person at any healthcare facility.
Fully automated or semi-automated
SB-C offers an automated bot option and a semi-automated assisted phone call option.
Over the phone or via App
SB-C integrates 3 user facing frontends: automated phone call, assisted phone call and app.
Fully integrated into third party system or standalone
SB-C can be used out-of-the-box using our Mili system or be integrated into third party systems.
V3 guided, clinically proven
Validation based on large cohorts across Europe following approved methodology from the V3 framework of the Digital Medicine Society (DiME)
- Distinction of clinical groups
- Analytical validation evidence
- Clinical validation evidence
Clear-cut differentiation among healthy controls, MCI and Dementia patients.

High correlation with clinical cognition rating anchors.

Strong links with AD cerebrospinal fluid markers, such as aBeta and pTau

A patient's view on the remote assessment
Usability study for automated and semi-automated testing over the phone
"I did not find it strange doing the questions, conversation via phone."
"... the phone appointment is more convenient than travelling face to face."
